Exeter Working Papers in Book History; 15
The British book trades: topographical listings. Wales

This page is one of a series of country and county listings which are being developed to bring together biographical information relating to localities throughout the British Isles which is currently scattered in other sections of the Exeter Working papers. They are not intended as exhaustive listings. The main sources covered are bankruptcy notices 1731-1806, apprenticeships 1710-1777 and insurance policies 1775-1787. In the case of Wales no further work is intended in view of the publication of Eiluned Rees, Libri Walliae.
